Good Setup??

[a33bigpapa 10+ year member]

Would the Alpine MRP-M2000 be a good amp to power 2 treo 10 inch ssp or ssi subwoofers in a .6 cu.ft. each enclosure, or would it be overkill?

BTW I will pay a little extra to buy from an authorized dealer so I'm not looking for links to woofersetc or ebay.

Sorry for the little rant there, but any help is greatly appreciated.

Aren't the SSi & SSP subs rated for something like 500 watts?

Why not run a 1,200 or 1,500 watt amplifier?

The ssi is rated at 750 rms and the ssp is 1000 rms. Misfit you are always quick to respond to my posts and I want to thank you for that.

That's my bad, bro. I skimmed through the write up on treo's site and didn't initially realize the 500 watt rating was for the newer 8" model.

I think 2,000 watts is fine. I'm not so sure why you're sold on the MRP-M2000, though...

Well at pacific stereo they do the price match guarantee and they are an authorized dealer where I could get the amp for $400. I haven't been able to find an amp with that kind of power for that price. My dealer only carries Treo, Jl, Hertz, Focal, Audison, and Diamond so anything with that kind of power from them will set me back more money than I can afford.

If I'm missing something please let me know.

Anyone else have any ideas???

I also wanted to know if my stock electrical system would be enough to handle this. I believe that alternator is 160 amp.

If you really have a 160 amp alt, it should be good. Just add a nice batt in the rear, something like a Kinetik HC2000.

Have you considered the Audioque AQ2200d? It's only $389 shipped from audioque.com...

Audioque: Amps: AQ2200D

I'm not saying it's nicer than the Alpine, but it's a little cheaper. Lots of people are running AQ amps too...

Everybody around here always seems to be very helpful even with me always asking questions all the time.

This might also be a stupid question but I was wondering if anyone thought this was overkill?
